The fast-moving fire destroyed two buildings at Nith Valley Apiaries on Christner Road.
Crews responded around 6:30 a.m.
“When they arrived on scene they did find the shed fully involved and that the fire had extended into the shop that was attached to the shed,” Wilmot Fire Chief Rod Leeson said. “They had to bring an excavator to tear the building down and get to hot spots, which they’re working on now.”
Neighbour Wolfgang Pfenning witnessed the emergency response.
“I heard the sirens,” Pfenning said. “I went to check which way they were going. When they stopped here I thought: ‘I better look at what’s going on.’ And then I saw the smoke and fire.”
